Abstract

Equations defining the reaction of microbial alginase on commercial sodium alginate are presented with respect to the viscometric assay of enzyme activity. The negative log of K was found to be linearly related to the concentration of algin, where K is defined as the change in the reciprocal of relative viscosity with time. The negative log of K was also found to be linearly related to the amount of enzyme in reaction mixtures when the substrate concentration was held constant.
